Since 2007, the fire department has deemed the hospital's fire procedures and emergency exits unsafe. According to the APHP, the building cannot be modernized.[4]
In 2017, the hospital opened the country's first unit entirely dedicated to dermatology issues related to tattoos.[5]
In 2023, the project to merge the Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital and the Beaujon Hospital to create the Grand Paris-Nord Hospital in Saint-Ouen was cancelled.[6]
